The lucky ones get to spend a week or two just in Havana, while others go on day-trips to the tobacco farms in the Valle de Viñales, or take a tour to the eastern tip of the island to visit Santiago de Cuba.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBut photographer Volker Figueredo-Véliz wanted to dive into the authentic, local routine of everyday Cuban life. He lived in Havana's old town and explored the city on foot with his camera every day for months. He had already photographed Cuba's clichés years ago, so this time he was on the lookout for fresh images of a different, more enigmatic Cuba. In short, he was searching for Cuba's soul.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHe took every day as it came, and had no plan or specific goals. Every day felt like a series of stories that unfolded before his eyes. These were tiny, trivial events, everyday scenes, and quiet, poetic moments alongside unexpected, quirky, and sometimes crazy episodes. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFeaturing an introduction by Pulitzer Prize winner Anthony DePalma, \u003ci\u003eLos Cubanos\u003c\/i\u003e is a beautiful collection of black and white images, along with the stories behind the photographs, that Figueredo-Véliz's camera froze in time in a fraction of a second, and that come back to life in this book. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Volker Figueredo-Veliz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rocky Nook\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/09\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.9lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.10h x 7.90w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781681988573","brand":"Rocky Nook","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47081372549257,"sku":"9781681988573","price":39.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_7007b01a-295a-40b9-bc0a-7796c6a2e512.jpg?v=1782239432","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/los-cubanos-searching-for-cubas-soul-9781681988573","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
